Acpi: Genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58

Understanding each segment—ACPI, vendor string, 64-bit capability, and family-model-stepping—is a valuable exercise for any systems engineer working on x86 power management, hypervisors, or kernel debugging. While the dashes are anomalous, the underlying hardware is solid, well-documented, and widely deployed.

While it might look like a relic, this ID plays a small but crucial role in how an operating system interacts with your CPU. acpi genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58

: Try resetting BIOS to "Default Settings" or disabling "Fast Boot" in Windows. : Try resetting BIOS to "Default Settings" or

Occasionally, users encounter this ID in a problematic context. Here are a few common scenarios: For decades, nearly all modern Intel Core processors

ACPI \ GenuineIntel _-_ Intel64 _ Family 6 _ Model 58 ──┬── ────┬───── ───┬─── ───┬──── ───┬──── │ │ │ │ └─ Specific Microarchitecture (Ivy Bridge) │ │ │ └─ Intel Architecture Category (P6/Core Era) │ │ └─ 64-bit Instruction Set Architecture │ └─ Official Manufacturer Vendor ID String └─ Enumerator Subsystem (Power & Configuration Management Interface)

: This corresponds to the processor's "Family" model from the CPUID instruction. For decades, nearly all modern Intel Core processors (from the original Core series to the latest generations) have belonged to Family 6 . This is a crucial fact for kernel developers and is the reason we see family-6 so frequently in IDs for Intel processors.
